Say Cheese

We had another beautiful January day at the beach! Of course the highlight of the day was our trip to the Tillamook Cheese Factory. Nope, not my first visit...but it was the first time I've ever tasted Sticky Bun ice cream! It was delish!

I think I make a great cow. I can eat like one, that's for sure.

Creature Comforts

A little something Wyatt and I have enjoyed recently. I think you'd enjoy it to. But don't take my word for it...check it out at your local library...Netflix...Blockbuster...or YouTube!

And went to the temple...or rather saw the temple:

Yeah, so it was a great trip. And now I feel smug because I have a mid-winter tan. Although, going back to work wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be. It's only day two and I already feel like I need another vacation. Yikes! I guess for now I'll have to escape to my memories of Costa Rica... Sigh.
